Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a voice broadcasting method on cellular phone's buttons, in particular, to a method that utilizes the way of voice broadcasting for synchronously informing users each step's message while users operate any button on the cellular phones.
  • buttons if there is a synchronous voice broadcasting method on cellular phone's buttons, it is going to let users listen and learn every step's name synchronously so as to achieve the aim of sending the related messages of the buttons to users when they operate the buttons on cellular phones.
  • users are able to further assure themselves that they push the right buttons or not so as to substantially reduce the probability of making mistakes.
  • US patent 4495647 in 1985 disclosed a kind of method that takes advantage of CVSD circuit system to store up voice data. But it didn't use compressed and decompressed technologies so that it has to consume a 1ot of memories and just able to store a short voice message.
  • US patent 5105197 in 1992 uses compressed and decompressed technologies to store voice messages in SRAM (Static Random-access Memory). Its weakness is that there is a delay on the broadcasting speed.
  • US patent 5630205 in 1997 disclosed a kind of method that is able to compress voice messages and store them into a cellular phone's memory.
  • the method lets the voice broadcasting speed, functions and storing capacity of the cellular phone improve obviously. But the attention of the patent is forced on the report of latest event. In other words, the status of the cellular phone is going to be reported by the way of voice broadcasting to remind users about the latest condition of their cellular phone, such like failing connecting, communication hindered, station searching, system service or volume of battery, etc. However, it still did not provide the function of synchronous voice broadcasting on cellular phone's buttons.
  • the present invention is going to disclose a new voice broadcasting technology for cellular phone messages, which integrates cellular phone's keypad and is able to send out synchronous voice messages to let users learn the corresponding name of every specific button.
  • the present invention provides a voice broadcasting method on cellular phone's buttons.
  • the present invention informs users the steps' names through the way of voice broadcasting at the right moment so that users are able to assure themselves whether the steps are correct or not.
  • the present invention further solve the problem that current cellular phone is only capable of using the sense of sight and the sense of touch to be the interface of communication. It lets users be able to get accurate messages of dialing numbers or setting functions through a better and more proper way.
  • the present invention just utilizes the original functions of recording-and-playing unit and voice broadcasting unit which both have belonged to current cellular phones to achieve the above object.
  • One point of the present invention is to add or enhance the functions of software. That is to say to integrate the buttons unit with the recording-and-playing unit together.
  • the present invention further builds a couple of voice databases, including a built-in voice database and a self-recording voice database. For extending the functions and capabilities of above software and voice databases, it is necessary to add certain capacity of flash memory or Mask ROM.
  • buttons unit When users are dialing phone numbers or setting any functions, according to the buttons signals received by the buttons unit, it starts the voice databases and automatically broadcasts the messages or names of the buttons through the recording-and-playing unit. Otherwise, the recording-and-playing unit is able to record another content of voice broadcasting, which bases on users' preference, and store the content of voice broadcasting in the self-recording voice database.
  • the voice broadcasting method on cellular phone's buttons disclosed by the present invention at least comprises the steps as following:
  • the present invention informs the user the steps' names by the way of voice broadcasting at the right moment so that the user is able to ensure whether the steps are correct or not.
  • a microprocessor 202 When a user presses anyone of the cellular phone's buttons 201 for dialing phone numbers or setting functions, it starts voice message (step 101 ) .
  • a microprocessor 202 is going to generate a temporary interrupted operation to execute the work of voice broadcasting.
  • the microprocessor 202 gathers the signals from the buttons 201 and opens the voice database (step 102) , which is stored in flash memory 203 (when the voice database is a self-recording voice database ) or Mask ROM 204 (when the voice database is a built-in voice database) , and read relative voice data.
  • a compressed/ decompressed circuit 205 further proceeds to decompress voice data (step 103) and turn the digital voice data into an analogic voice message. Then, send the analogic voice message to a power-amplifying unit and start a power-amplifying IC 206 to amplify the power of the voice message ( step 104). And then synchronously broadcast the voice message ( step 105 ) by a speaker 207, which belongs to a voice broadcasting unit, so as to achieve the effect of getting the button's message through hearing.
  • the present invention is able to provide users to choose and use a built-in voice database or a self-recording voice database to be the voice database. Therefore, the present invention has to maintain the voice data stored in the self-recording voice database.
  • the maintenance work at least comprises recording, modifying and deleting voice data.
  • FIG. 2 Please refer to FIG. 2.
  • switch on a microphone 208 which belongs to the voice broadcasting unit, to receive the content of voice being recorded.
  • the cellular phone user speaks a voice message and let it go through the microphone 208.
  • the voice message further passes through the power-amplifying IC 206 to amplify the power of the voice message.
  • the voice message is compressed by the compressed/ decompressed circuit 205 and become a digital voice signal.
  • the digital voice signal is sent to the microprocessor 202.
  • the digital voice signal is written into the flash memory 203, where the voice database is, as the content of self-recording data.
  • the present invention carries out the function of automatic voice broadcasting by adding "voice data system” and “voice broadcasting system” in current cellular phones. Its advantages are showed as following:
